Hi,

I’m a peer advisor at Pitt. My main job is to answer academic-related questions but as a current student, I can offer some insight into plenty of other things!

Trust me when I say that you will have no trouble finding artsy/hipster people at Pitt…or anyone else. Basically, Pitt has every single type of student with every single type of personality you could imagine. I can easily say it’s one of the most diverse campuses i’ve ever be on. I transferred here from another school a few years back and I went on countless college tours so I saw what was out there and nothing compared to Pitt as far as diversity went. I think being in/around a city has a lot to do with that.

But, and this probably goes without saying, to meet people and make friends you have to put in the effort! They won’t drop into your lap.

Also if you’re interested in philosophy…Pitt is a great choice for you. I’m sure you’ve heard this numerous times but our philosophy dept. is top-notch.

Hope this helps! Let me know if I can help with anything else.
